A 458 I6 Wrangler, now that would be something. Each piston would be 1.2
litres !

Re: Detroit, Japan, and Car Quality
 

Indeed, hard to believe, a 6-71 is only 426 cid.

But it's physically as big as the 855 cid Cummins, because it's a two
cycle with a large plenum area around the bottom of the cylinders, a
very tall deck, and a large volume crankcase area. It's also vastly
overweight.

International had 400 cid gas inline sixes that were not much bigger
than the standard pickup engine. Occasionally a bored farmer would
stuff one in his 'Binder' pickup.
